I am glad you found a good opportunity and hope it all turns out successful
Thanks! We went through a similar thing that you guys did a few years ago, investing about the same amount of money you did in a project that never went anywhere. We really believed in it, and it was a lot of factors as to why it fell apart.

One thing I can say is to tell the story from a different angle about what you've done. You started a business, employed X number of people over the years, made over X million dollars, first of its kind, etc. The story can be told a lot better than "I ran some porn sites".

Also expect a certain level of job based on your experience, don't assume you have to start at the bottom again.
